The contents of a ‘workshop’ on sex and gender being taught to civil servants has been leaked to Times columnist Janice Turner. It’s a combination of anti-scientific nonsense and ignorance of the law.
Here are some facts I learnt by watching an “inclusion workshop” for civil servants. A brain in a jar “knows” if it is male or female and, if transplanted into the “wrong” body, would exhibit distress. This country has no legal sex-based rights. It is impossible to define what “woman” or even “female” means. There is zero conflict between women’s rights and trans rights, so beware colleagues asking too many questions; they’re probably bigots.
A:gender, “a network supporting all trans and intersex staff across government”, trains thousands of civil servants annually, from the NHS to the Cabinet Office, yet it forbids its presentations being recorded. Having endured 90 minutes of anti-scientific, legally fallacious twaddle, I can see why it avoids scrutiny.
Concerned women civil servants secretly taped and sent it to me, as they believe this “training” violates central principles of the civil service code: integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality. In particular it breaks the rule that they cannot frustrate policies once decisions are taken “by declining to take, or abstaining from, action which flows from these decisions”. It is their job to implement decisions, not to undermine them.
This A:gender session is conducted by Emma, who tells us she is intersex, having a vagina and uterus but XY chromosomes. She claims that as many people are intersex – 1.7% – as have green eyes. The more precise figure is about 0.018%. But intersex here is deployed to muddy the very idea that human sex is binary.
Indeed, the difference between sex (biology) and gender (a social construct) seems to confuse Emma. “You’d look at my nails and make-up and realise I am female,” she says. We are asked to position ourselves on spectrums of “woman-ness” and “man-ness” and told if some days we wake feeling more manly or womanly than others, we may be “gender fluid”.
Worth reading in full.

Total rubbish, sack those that waste tax payers money on this nonsense!
All to promote divide and rule.
I now refuse to answer form questions re “gender” and simply note that there is no scientific evidence that “gender” exists as separate from “sex”, and that as far as I am concerned it remains what it always was, a grammatical term. I then note that my SEX is male.
Just say no. Or “fuck off”, if that feels better 🙂
I am afraid I am of the old school thinking, where there were men and women and nothing in between and I can’t get my head around all of the weird terms now, to describe what the gender of this person is over that one. In simple language, having to ask a person of undefined sex, if they have a period every month, to establish what they are, is confusing to me, because even if they get a period, or they don’t, they may think they are male, or something in between, or female – and how can you address that and how does it relate to how you might communicate with them on a level playing field where their sexual basis may not be compatible with yours?
The Government could stop this lunatic propaganda. But it won’t.
Years and years of Conservative governments and this tide of BS has just grown ever stronger.
When will the British public get the chance to vote for a truly right of centre government?
Who is funding the ‘workshop?’
Us, the mugs called taxpayers
We live in evil and irrational times, a time of open state sponsored satanism. One of the biggest tasks of satanism is to pervert the minds of people, the younger the better.
As christianity decreases gradually, paganism increases gradually and with paganism comes the law of the jungle and all sorts of abominations and perversion, there is no right or wrong in it, there is no measure for anything.
The irony!
“Science” was the “wokeness” of the 16th century that since that time and especially since the beginning of the epoch of mass anti-communication has expanded aggressively, establishing a “Don’t you dare criticise my attitude!” position in a large number of (albeit mostly male) minds.
That said, this is a mindf*ck – and no mere linguistic response, however well thought out and sane, is going to solve the issue and smell completely of roses. It’s easy to point out that “talking graphs to power” isn’t the solution, but, to be fair, making such an observation doesn’t itself provide a solution either. Nor is there a “meta” road. We need a revolution that is beyond language. OK, I said that using language but we need to say it using more than language.
Argh!
Watching the Jubilee concert in front of Buckingham Palace. AWESOME. The sheer talent we have in this country. INCREDIBLE. Music and sport is what unites us.
WHY are we allowing a power crazed elite to break it, break us? We CANNOT allow it. Can we stop it? YES WE CAN!!
Don’t stop spreading the truth.
I’m happy to be called a conspiracy theorist, nutter, tin foil hat wearer, if it changes ONE mind and WE ALL change ONE mind, we can turn the tide.
Let’s do it people. We are INDOMITABLE.
Apart from the Green propaganda, its been amazing, the Paddington bit was genius
Oh GOD!! You are SO right. Talk about priming for Phase Two Of the Great ReSchit. Oh…sorry…typo… you know what I mean…
LOVED the Paddington bit.
It was fucking horrendous. About 80% of acts were black and we had old Dicky A reminding us our planet is fucked. A real woke wankathon and nothing to do with the Queen.
Not about ‘a real woke wankathon.’
About the things that unite us like sport and music.
Like talent that makes these things globally awesome.
This is the point you’ve clearly missed in your purple mist.
You would do well to remember that being angry is like holding hot coals in your hand with the intent of hurling them at the object of your hate!
Who are you hurting mate?
Anger and hate ain’t gonna solve anything.
Most of the acts were black. All of the shite acts were black (except Rod Stewart who needs to just call it a day). Explain
Not that I NEED to explain. It’s your choice to educate yourself. However, in this instance I will indulge you because I haven’t quite finished my wine!
Enjoy. IF you can manage to watch the whole episode.

I got bored after 2 minutes when they were separated on eye colour. No niggers have blue eyes and the UK/wokery is all about pushing niggers as supreme
As was the Jubilee concert
Ooops my bad. Thought I was dealing with an adult!
Woke? But surely BJ’s government have got to promote their “British values” somehow?
Anyway, someone told me that white people who have black hair have some “black” ancestry way back, and that there are black Jews in Zimbabwe.
Talent?? Elton John and Diana Ross looking like excellent examples of the embalmer’s art?!! You’re ‘avin a larf
Transgenderism is simply a manifestation of body dysmorphia. It’s the same issue, with most of the same root causes, as anorexia. The crucial difference being that if we had a highly influential lobby, funded by government and applauded by the media, telling girls to starve themselves because their bodies are wrong and that is why they are unhappy, and providing stomach stapling on the NHS and applauding their brave choice to become unhealthily emaciated, we would all think the world had gone mad.
This week my local KFC has suddenly gone all LGBTQ+, and I suspect this affects other fast food outlets. The exhortations are overlaid on the muzak, trumpeting their support for and partnership deals with LGBT+ Limited. The staff haven’t a clue about how we got to this position, and I am not much more clued up. When I go into a KFC it’s because I want a bloomin’ chicken burger, not a word salad. The staff just want to serve me and take their wages, not participate in a fringe political movement which has radicalised a minority support group. This practice has diffused over from arts events; it’s almost impossible to fund, stage or attend any event these days unless it the event is arranged in partnership with BLM, LGBTQ+ or the Ukrainian Army, with logos and flags to match.
virtue signalling businesses are a pathetic sight, it would be interesting to note how many of these business operate in countries where being gay etc is either illegal or highly discouraged, in which case ethics mean zero when it comes to taking profits.
Why is a KFC like a woman? Because when you’re finished with the thighs and the breasts there’s a greasy box to throw your bone in
OMG 🤭
History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire..
interesting comparison if time and technology adjusted.
Mothers and Fathers
A few months ago I was out planting trees and a friend of mine who was working with us and who was about 6 months pregnant at the time, suddenly lost her sight in one eye. She is now a few weeks of the birth and has still only partially recovered her sight in that eye. There are worries that this eye problem could be a sign of potential pre-eclampsia. She remains in remarkably high spirits but we are all very worried for her and hoping that indeed it all works out OK.
Never mind all the tosh and balderdash about whether you feel womanly or manly?
Never mind whether you paint your nails or wear a skirt or trousers.
Being a woman is being that side of humanity that my friend is in, suffering the problems of a difficult pregnancy. Nobody born male will ever be in that position.
Being male is looking after and caring for the women-folk who are valiantly bringing the next generation into this world and need all the care and support we can give them.
Never mind defining male or female; woman or man;
The essential issue is;
MOTHERS & FATHERS
As men we are in total agreement, but we are not allowed to provide for and care for our women as that is considered sexist, fascist and demeaning.
My stance is, suit yourself!
There is still some hope for humanity. I just watched the start of the Hungary v England game, where Hungarian adults have to take 10 kids with them to be allowed in as some sort of punishment for not being woke a few games ago.
Hungary did not take the knee, England did, all the kids booed and the knee taking was abruptly cut short.
Go on Hungary, you make me proud!
“Taking the Knee” – are they really still doing this?
Yes! The woke pundits just had a little half time whinge about it
“Apparently we are being told some Hungarian children booed the England players taking the knee”
Of course they’re all shaking their heads in disgust and completely missing the point!
These people are so indoctrinated that they think if you object to ‘taking the knee’ you must be opposed to the fair and equal treatment of black people. It simply doesn’t occur to these lunatics that it is the very idea that black people are treated unfairly that is in question. It is one big question-begging exercise. It is assumed, without so much as a paragraph of argumentation, that black people suffer from unfair treatment in a systemic sense, and the whole tawdry spectacle of bending the knee for a contrived problem continues unabated, and we embarrass ourselves a bit more as a society and nation every time this absurd, demeaning ritual takes place.
Exactly. And according to the first rule of wokery, if you do not agree with them and their taking the knee, then you must automatically be racist.
Will they ever learn that you can’t MAKE somebody think something?
Racism – objecting to your race being replaced by other races in your own homeland.
Racism is a crime that only white Europeans can commit.
Southgate’s official response was “I can’t believe anybody would boo, why would anybody think that way? These children are too young to think that for themselves so they’re being influenced by others”
The irony completely lost on the woke clown!
Children objecting to an exhibition of racism?
How dare they!
it is interesting that southgate and co are criticising fans from another country, at the end of the day hungry is a sovereign country and as such can boo if they wish. Booing in itself is not racist and is pretty common sound at sporting events. After all, when footballers tried the knee bending at Millwall they also got booed as well.
You have never lived in Asia and observed the ‘racism’ directed at the Chinese and/or Japanese by all other races out there
We’ve now got the two female presenters (it is C4 after all) wanting to talk to Southgate about the kids booing issue. I don’t think the penny is ever going to drop with these arseholes
Rugby has largely dropped knee taking, not that it was popular anyway, the Irish lads refused point blank to kneel.
Maro Itoje has recently announced he would no longer sing Sweet Chariot because of it’s racist underpinnings.
In other words, he’s sung it for the last 15 years without bothering to consider the lyrics, and it’s done him no harm whatsoever as he’s a regular England player (arguably one of the very best).
F’kin dickheads, the lot of them – virtue signalling sportsmen in this instance.
I wish football would follow suit. I see sport as many generations before me have, as a form of escapism from the shite we deal with in our daily lives. If you mix politics and sport, you just get politics so leave it out of sport!
I do hope that they all have the number plates with green flashes on their sponsor provided cars? All the better to VS when out and about amongst us morons.
It isn’t anything unusual. When I was a student we had a gay guy who would drill holes in the walls of toilets and then when you were squatting down he would push his penis through. I never hated him because that was his drive. But he never went on to make a big political point of it.
I hope you whacked him on the bell end with the toilet brush (preferably hard bristle).
👍👍👍
It is nice to have an environment where everyone feels welcome but this is just a smokescreen. Hannah Arendt commented, almost a hundred years ago that the British civil service tests not for ability but for compliance. Just be clear about the nature of reality.
Why can’t we have a black transgender queen? Preferably a lady wiith one arm who likes to weave baskets.
This all stems from the homo revolution.
The homos won everything they wanted and all the parasite ruling classes know this, they also know that anyone resisting the homos had their careers damaged if not destroyed.
So the parasites see these new perverts and they are betting that they will win everything that they want as well, so rather than standing up and resisting they are cheer leading because they think to do so will help their careers.
The ruling parasites will champion any form of sexual degeneration, nothing is off limits to them.
Sadly the voting public are so f~~king dense they will keep voting for them no matter what.
Cultural Marxism at the farm,sowing lies and seeding discontent and confusion, the insult all taxpayer funded, but why?.
Answer, retrench, slash big government, bin HR departments across the civil service, defund, de unionize and end this mind bleed insanity.
Obsessions with sexuality and androgyny are a sign of the end of cultures. Don’t be alarmed. It isn’t as if there is any surprise when it comes to the grim prognosis about the West. Our culture will pass away but we won’t. Like Jesus said, heaven and earth shall pass away but my kingdom shall not pass away.
There are men, women and mentally ill people.
That is it.
If you are a man and you think you are a woman you are mentally ill.
If you are a man and believe you are Napoleon, a badger or a space alien you are mentally ill.
I’m personally convinced that homosexuality is a form of mental illness but the perverts in the ruling class like to take a sausage up the bum so they legalised that one.
All the rest of the sex based mental illness being mainstreamed was only a matter of time following the legalisation of homo mental illness.
Obviously this dragging things into the sewer is horrible and it is noble to care about one’s culture but this battle was lost a hundred years ago. There was an afterglow for fifty years after that and then copius CIA mind control drugs and influences. We are here and the situation is a dire one and the threats that we face would rather that we were distracted by transgender bathrooms. These endless discussions about ‘culture wars’ are utterly futile and in my experience they are conducted by people who find this a convenient way of avoiding discussion of higher more pressing matters.
Every managaer above middle layers, sack them.
Won’t happen because this current government is corrupt, weak, and doesn’t care about anything except how much swill they get in their trough.
Sorry? Who is going to sack them? The politicians can’t – they are NOT in charge of the Civil Service.
The Civil Service is meant to be independent, and answerable to it’s own managers. They are the woke people driving this idiocy – and they are independent – there is no one in charge of them.
This Emma needs to put herself on an idiot scale – which we need to extend the scale to cope with her – and then she can work out which days she doesn’t wake up with an idiotic thoughts.
Of course, the only place where you see transgenderism is in the Royal Navy and the MoD. All ships are female but some clearly identify as male, e.g. HMS Prince of Wales or HMS Hermes.
The old type 23 frigates were all named after Dukes!
Most are still in service, some with the Chilean navy.
“Old” being relative. They were new when my company was involved with EH101 in the 1990’s which was to be located on the Type 23, not sure of the projected lifetime of the Type 23.
Isn’t it ironic that the mentally ill and their enablers cannot define ‘woman’ yet want to ‘transition’/enable those who want to ‘transition’ into something they cannot define. One feels compelled to ask: Then how do you know you are a woman if you cannot even define what it is that makes a woman a woman?
The position is self-defeating on every level.
Regarding ‘gender’ and ‘gender fluidity,’ it is objectively the case that a biological male cannot be a female (and vice versa), that ‘gender’ deals with certain traits within the binary framework of male and female, can only be understood within this binary context, and thus cannot be broadened in a non-arbitrary fashion, nor can it be separated from sex. ‘Gender’ is thus parasitic on the binary framework, without which it would have no existence as a concept.
To attempt to ‘broaden’ ‘gender’ can only result in arbitrariness and a conflict with reality.
A friend of mine works for the local housing association. Now, this is about 15 years ago, but for some time he spent almost more time on training courses than at work! And in those times it was classroom, with sandwich lunch, and sometimes even at a nice conference centre!
At least our tax money is not being wasted on this anymore, with it all being online.
Ah! but what if you have blue eyes?
Then you are probably an Aryan, and hence racist….
Not altogether off at a tangent: I just bought something using Paypal and at “click to pay” time was asked whether I would like to make a donation to the LGBT Foundation Ltd.
Seriously, can’t gays get on and do whatever they like to do with each other without trying to tap me for money to pay them?
Yep: getting to be like buying a bottle of wine at Adnam’s!
Corporates now part of the “Stakeholder Capitalist” Ruling Elites project as planned by Lynne R. ( helps take what little responsibility is left off politicians who are just left to strut about, front the ‘current thing” and clean up!
Currently this is starving the plebs and wrecking their lives, mass jabbing, busting the economy with paper money, poking the Russian bear and of course the “Great Reset” ( by appointment to HRH the POW).
Never give to charity!
Charities have now been employed by governments as lobby groups. When a government wants support, it simply picks the charity it has funded for that purpose.
It’s also a money making scam. It’s known only a fraction of contributions reach the subject of the charity, having paid innumerable office and support staff their salaries, and corrupt government officials their cut along the way.
The more you give, the more people they can employ, and the better the unemployment figures look.
With the exception of the RNLI
Never give money to charities.
You’re a massive homophobic fascist if you won’t turn your pockets out for the cause!
